How To Unlock Characters In Blackout

By now you will probably have noticed that there are over 20 different characters available for you to choose from in the main menu of Blackout. Many of these characters such as Frank Woods, Alex Mason, and Richtofen will all sound very familiar, as the vast majority of the characters will be from the Black Ops series, ranging from the campaign, Multiplayer, and even Zombies.

Unfortunately though, in order to access these characters, you must first unlock them. In order to unlock the vast majority of characters, you will need to find character specific items within Blackout and complete a number of specific 'Character Missions' that will each have a number of tasks that are required to be completed. If you fail the Character Missions during the match, items and tasks will not carry over to your next game.

In most cases, many of the items can be found by searching Supply Drops, Supply Boxes, and through looting zombies and fallen enemies. It's important to remember that most Character Missions will require you to keep the item in your inventory throughout the match.

It is also important to note, that unless the mission specifically states that you have to win a match, you simply just have to complete the match - no matter if you win or get eliminated.

Not all characters require missions to be completed, as certain Blackout characters such as Ranger, Frogman, Airborne, Seal, and Battle Hardened can be unlocked by achieving specific Echelon levels or by simply purchasing the Battle Pass.

Echelon levels are tied into Call of Duty's leveling system, in which players will receive merits (experience) every time they get a kill, win, complete a challenge, or even place high within the match. These merits will slowly begin to build up, raising your Echelon level.

Players can expect to receive the following merits for each specific task.

Kills

10 Merits each kill.

Placements

50 Merits for placing in Top 15.

50 Merits for placing in Top 10.

50 Merits for placing in Top 5.

Winning

100 Merits each win.

Challenges

Ranging from 25 to 100 Merits, each challenge offers a different Merit reward.
